Why is there no screen tearing on consoles?

Paddi01

How is this not an issue for them although consoles are basically PC's as well?

Locking the framerate to 30/60FPS. 

Can you unlock the framerate?

Screen tearing only occurs when the system can send more information than the monitor/TV is able to handle, such as your PC generating 300FPS when you have a 60Hz monitor wihout G-Sync or FreeSync.

This doesn't happen with consoles due to the locked framerate.

Graphics options isn't really a thing on consoles. 

I think some games are too demanding for the original 8th gen consoles, so they ran at sub 30FPS with unlocked framerates.

You never played a multi plattform Title on the PS3, did you?

Or Tera...
There can be some really awful tearing, but mstly they are very well optimized so that it doesn't happen.

Many titles, but not all...
